Our Brand

We're always looking for new and exciting projects. We recently added our own LED cube kits to the website and are working on some other great new items. Our Sketch Pad has proven to be really popular. Not only is it fun to build, it's extremely useful. Keep an eye out for new products in the Hobby Components Range.

The recently added 4x4x4 LED cube kits we created have been extremely popular! We created these as through-hole kits so they suited a wider range of customers and it seems to have been a good move! Feel free to get in touch if you've built up the kit and have a customer video.

BMP180 / GY68 Temperature and Pressure sensor

Model HCMODU0101

Condition New

The BMP180 is the function compatible successor of the BMP085, a new generation of high precision digital pressure sensors for consumer applications. The ultra-low power, low voltage electronics of the BMP180 is optimized for use in mobile phones, PDAs, GPS navigation devices and outdoor equipment.

The BMP180 is the function compatible successor of the BMP085, a new generation of high precision digital pressure sensors for consumer applications. The ultra-low power, low voltage electronics of the BMP180 is optimized for use in mobile phones, PDAs, GPS navigation devices and outdoor equipment. With a low altitude noise of merely 0.25m at fast conversion time, the BMP180 offers superior performance. The I2C interface allows for easy system integration with a microcontroller. The BMP180 is based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as well as long term stability.

The module (HCMODU0101) measures a tiny 13mm x 10mm and contains the 3.3V regulator allowing the module to be safely powered from a 5V source. Solder terminal for power and I2C interface are provided with 10K pullups for the I2C data and clock pins.

For Raspberry Pi uses we have tested this module with the free Cayenne cloud based IoT software platform. Simply connect the module to your Raspberry Pi as shown below and use the Cayenne software platform to get remote temperature and pressure readings without writing a single line of code.

To make using this module with your Arduino as easy as possible we have written an exclusive library (HCBMP180). This library can be downloaded from the software section of our support forum here:

The library will allow you to obtain calibrated temperature and pressure measurements from the module. Additionally it can also be used to get absolute altitude, relative altitude, and pressure at sea level measurements.

Example Arduino sketch, excluive library and datasheet available on our support forum here.
